Renting Part Of A Kitchen

My Step Mother's brother's ex wife owns a restaurant. She (my step mother) asked me if I wanted to ask the owner, who she is close to, to rent part of her kitchen. I really don't know much about the cake business part. Could I do this? What is a good price for renting? What else would I have to do also (getting a license)?
